I built a sled for our dogs many years back the team was a beagle(leading) a lab and wolf Hibrid and a husky. I went fairly fast and was rather dangerous as well. If a rabbit was seen soon the beagle would lead us trough the trees off trail and ended in a head on with tree or ditch. oddly the beagle and the lab were the best pullers, the husky would just go for the walk and wolf never seemed to understand why we were doing this:) great looking dogs there you made!222Dochttp://mobildefencelab.blog.homepagenow.com/blog.shtmlnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21402852.post-11210190077609471762008-04-25T03:46:00.000+10:002008-04-25T03:46:00.000+10:00I don't want to be too picky, but it is a sled dog...I don't want to be too picky, but it is a sled dog team, not dog sled team.<BR/><BR/>I do love the robot, however.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
